buff update, how the pc going ??

Buffalo Six · Post by **Buffalo Six** » 16 Feb 2007, 12:08

got the OS in, the vid, Phsyx, and main board and sound drivers in. I loaded up GRAW to take a look and damn it looked good....even better when I threw a grenade at a car....LOL...it was pretty cool.

Tonight if I have time to swap out the boxes in the locations I'll get the new PC online and get CoH loaded and updated etc...

If I dont, it will be sunday as I'll be hunting pheasants and chuckers most of the day Sat.

Sat. I was in the field at sun up on our last hunt of the year. 5 of us took 22 chucker and 12 pheasants. I had 2 beautiful long range "hail mary" shots that I was like "oh yea...take this....holy shit i folded that bird!" I mean shots way out of range, but thats goes to show the power of Copper #5's at 1300 fps. I had one shot I wish I had video of. The dogs pointed under some trees in a creek bed, and when the pheasnt flushed....it went stright up like he had a spring in his ass, and about 10 feet up...he ran smack into a big branch....and sort of staggered mid air......and I drilled him right there....wham. So I got 3 pheasants, and 6 chucker, we lost 3 birds that ran off that the dogs couldnt find but the hawk and flacon that were following behind us found and got easy meals....we know cuz later we found the the remains in spots werhe there was nothing there on the 1st pass. we hunted from sup up to damn near sun down. I took a header crossing a creekbed, landed chest and palms 1st in a sea of cockelburs, I am still picking barbs out of my hands. So I was a whipped puppy sat night, and sunday was Daytona so I watched the race and cleaned guns. I just didnt want to deal with the PC yesterday

Daytona, o god nascar crap lol. O lets do lots of laps around a big oval lol. I know I know there is skill involved but I just can't watch a sport where its driving in ovals, I need lots of turns left and right. f1 for example is fun, tho what I would relay watch is Rally's. As many twists and turns as you can count over 3 days on different surfaces form snow/ice to dirt. to bad I can't find the WRC on any chamel in the US doh.

Gee Veg, when was the last F1 race decided by less than .0125 sec? Thats about 2 feet at 190 mph, and at the same time 100 feet behind we have cars on their lids, sliding across the finish line backwards, upsides down and ON FIRE!....

The primadonas in F1 would wet themselves in the draft, Id say ask former indy 500 champ, cart series champ and winner of the danged Monaco GP Juan Pablo Montoya.....but he couldnt go fast enough to stay in the draft.

F1 is so technology driven that your average competitive go cart driver can do it, it takes skill yes but F1 is more about technology than racing, when the race winner is decided by who pits 1st on the ONLY pit stop of the race for the ONLY lead change for the race......please.

WRC....I get that...those dudes are freaking nuts.

But I'll take nascar 9 times out of 10 and twice on sunday

VEGETA · Post by **VEGETA** » 19 Feb 2007, 11:56

I never said I loved F1 wow lol. but I well take it over NASCAr as again just doing laps around a VERY simple track just don't interest me. I know crashes and da da da da da are cool but in general it has little to interest me. F1 style interests me a bit, I don't watch it on tv, but if the equivalent is in Toronto (its not f1 but smiler dam if I remember the name of it) I well go watch.

but WRC is what I consider a sport. I mean it has to be the most skill level required of anything. I just wish the B class Rally would come back form the 80's. Right now engine size is limited and such, but then that class OMG they had some freaking FAST cars. It was baned because to many crashess as there is a point where no skill level can help you.

now correct me if I am wrong but isent there 1 or 2 tracks in the NASCAR circuity that are not just ovals but have some different turns. If so then those I would go see.

I don't understand...who cares what shape the track is? If that's all that was important, why wouldn't they just qualify and see who wins?

Tach Deneva · Post by **Tach Deneva** » 19 Feb 2007, 12:24

They should, say, halfway through the race, have everyone go the other way! Like, you know, basketball!

VEGETA · Post by **VEGETA** » 19 Feb 2007, 13:01

I care about the shape. O big deal we can do ovals, round and round. I want to see if they can pass when turning the other or say have a snake idea that takes a bit more effort to navagte when you have another car trying to pass you and such. It makes it more interesting. The shape of the track is relay important in my eyes as a basic oval track is dull.

Hammer · Post by **Hammer** » 19 Feb 2007, 13:48

i would not want to do ovals... i am interested in motorcycle racing someday (time/money constraints) but am definitely not interested in racing on ovals.

VEGETA · Post by **VEGETA** » 19 Feb 2007, 13:52

O there is another nice one, I have seen a few motercycle races and its sick

O and also this pic sums up what happened to this thread

Buffalo Six · Post by **Buffalo Six** » 19 Feb 2007, 14:55

I'm not ashamed to say I had tears in my eyes the day Dale died, I enjoy Nascar and I can appricate the unique american style of oval racing. I enjoy road racing also, very much so, but in the end it is apples and oranges. I still maintain it takes more skill to keep a 3500lb stock car pointed in the right direction in the draft, 3 deep, at 190mph in a 20mph quartering crosswind, door handle to door handle than it does a computer controled, traction assisted, carbon fiber, computer controled fuel systemed F1 car out all by him self who makes 3 passes for position per race. But hey thats just me.

Veg, your in Detroit....go see the race at Michagan International Speedway, just go and watch....and tell me thats not fun. Go to a bull ring dirt oval for some saturday night shootouts with 1/4 midgets, Midgets, modified, late modified, or USAC silver crown cars and experence that.....its why we race ovals btw.....and then tell me ovals are boring =)

We will just have to agree to disagree.....but I'm with you on the WRC stuff...see if you can get the Speed channel....I believe they carry those races in tape delay

They use to have them friday sat and sunday nights 1 hr recaps of the race form that day. I use to love watching them but they have not been shown last 2 years or so. Maybe that has changed.

and Tach I was thinking "Days of thunder" myself

and how the pc going

Buff, just to piss you off

They just released there 6000 AMD chip. this will be expensive but will more then likely bring prices down a little over the next week on other chips they own.

I picked up a router, so I hope Veg or someone can walk me thru it.....not looking foreward to this

VEGETA · Post by **VEGETA** » 20 Feb 2007, 14:11

My rates are 30$ per hr

To be hoenst a router is easy to set up.
Tell me which version you got and also did u get your internet working last night man. and if yes, how. If you had to do that register MAC thing last night, the good part is most routers can emulate that mac address on your pc, so you don't have to do it again. Just enter the mac address which can be gotten form a ipconfig -a (I think its -a, means all info)

Actually I think this is the one...its out in the truck....but I believe its this one
